Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump hints at wind down of war as US prepares to send more troops to GulfEnglish
13·6 months agoDonald Trump said he was considering “winding down” military operations in the Middle East even as the US is reportedly sending three more amphibious assault ships and roughly 2,500 additional marines to the region.
The US president’s remarks on Friday followed an Iranian threat to attack recreational and tourist sites worldwide and another day of the airstrikes and drone and missile attacks that have engulfed the region.
The US is reportedly considering plans to occupy or blockade Iran’s strategically crucial Kharg Island to pressure Tehran to reopen [the strait of Hormuz]
On Friday, Trump sent out mixed messages about the possibility of the three-week-old war abating. He first ruled out reaching a ceasefire agreement with Iran, saying Washington has the upper hand.
“I don’t want to do a ceasefire. You know you don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side,” he told journalists at the White House.
However, later on Friday night, he wrote on his Truth Social platform that the US was considering “winding down” military operations in Iran. “We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran,” he wrote.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Pam Bondi tried to steal a 4-year-old's dogEnglish
151·7 months agoAnother dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a ‘walking skeleton’ and ‘dying from heartworms’ when she adopted him.
The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. ‘She lied,’ Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist. ‘My little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.’ The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.

4·7 months agoSame thing is happening in EU. 10 years ago most shooting courses were full of bald neo nazi dudes, but now it’s mostly liberals and leftists who want to protect themselves.
Russia trying to rape and murder a neigbouring country and USA going berserk definitely gave a lot of people the nudge to train and arm themselves (though legal gun ownership options are very limited).

21·8 months agoIt would 100% be the end of the world.
Using any kind nuclear force ends in a global apocalypse. Thousands or scenarios and simulations were run on this topic for the past several decades, and the result is always the same. Whoever start shooting nukes for whatever reason, it doesn’t matter at the end. There is always escalation by other parties, and most of humanity dies.

1·8 months agoThat’s only for German citizens. As an EU citizen living in Germany, I can identify myself with my ID or passport from my home country. Those don’t contain an address, so the only document I have of my German address is the paper I got from Bürgeramt.
A bit complicated, I wish my ID could be just stamped with my German address instead - the format and content of the ID should anyway be mostly uniform within the EU.
